Lyrics

Guests:
The first time you see her
No bolt from the blue

Miss Piggy:
Just something so quiet
That's waiting for you

Guests:
With no one to tell you
Where you've got to go

Miss Piggy:
The first time it happens
You know

Kermit:
The first time you see her
No magical change
No angels appearing
No dreams to arrange

Guests:
Just warmer and colder
Than springtime or snow

Kermit:
The first time it happens
You know

Guests:
And so you fall
And how complete it is
And for each new moment that it lasts
How sweet it is
